Aside from that you're following a "Yeah, but she..." formula? According to the article Ingraham condemned her own actions over 20 years ago. What more do I need to add? It's a reminder of the folly of youth's certainty in its own righteousness. Seems apropos given the subject manner actually. Hopefully Hogg will mature into someone respectable in the next 35 years. His enablers lower the chances of that happening. |
I'm merely establishing a pattern of (far worse) behaviour. It's even reminiscent of the "Shut up and dribble" statement to LeBron James and similar comments she made to Jimmy Kimmel as well. These are personal attacks and they haven't slowed with age. She's demonstrated it in her youth and in her later years. In fact, it's how she earns a living.
As for her apology, it only came after having her brother and his boyfriend struggle through AIDS. Her most recent apology came only after losing advertisers. The impetus behind these apologies are suspect.
Here's a direct quote from Hogg: “She only apologized after we went after her advertisers,” Hogg said. “It kind of speaks for itself. ... I’m not going to stoop to her level and go after her on a personal level. I’m going to go after her advertisers.”
My question is, who is actually being bullied here? Hogg is asking people to speak with their wallets, which is what many often suggest when a company pulls some stupid shit. Why is this not respectable? Has Hogg called on anyone to personally attack Ingraham? It appears as though he's of sound enough mind not to make personal attacks.
